With the spring season upon us, I thought it would be appropriate to remind everyone that I will start sending out letters concerning lawn and accumulation of trash issues. The letters serve as reminders as to the City of Ellinwood's ordinances concerning this issues and I hope, if you should happen to receive a letter, you take it as a reminder to perform a spring clean up and get your property in shape for the summer. Let's keep our city clean-a great place to raise our children and a great place to live.
